"Sproots" is a colony survival game featuring small, Pikmin-like creatures called "sproots." Players must help the sproots gather food, manage their water supply, and breed new sproots to replace those that die of old age. The game includes 5 biomes, 35 items, and 11 skills to discover, offering 2-5 hours of gameplay. Players can control the sproots in a Sims-esque manner using mouse and keyboard controls, and can quickly move the camera or warp back to camp for convenience.
